Pilot's Manual
Great book, worth the money. Very well written, professional and comprehensive. I recommend it to all beginners as well as to experienced pilots to refresh their knowledge.

Excellent resource
Hands down the best reference I've seen for practical IFR.

It covers pretty much everything you'd ever need to know. What to do and how to do it, from the theory of it all the way to the practical 'in the cockpit' methods that make all of the complex mental gymnastics simple.

If you want to develop a solid foundation for your IFR ticket, and a have a go to resource after you've obtained it, this is the book to use.

As noted elsewhere, if you're just trying to pass the written, grab a Gleim. But for everything you REALLY need to know to put all of that to use, get this book.

It made a world of difference for me on the way to my Commercial rating.

Poor preparation for the knowledge test
This is worth reading if you want to learn how to fly IFR but poor preparation for passing the FAA's IFR knowledge test. You'll want to supplement this textbook with the King videos and/or the Gleim book of all the questions.
